From a young age, Grace Vice was determined to become an author. As a high school student, in her hometown of Las Vegas, she could be found in the library every morning without exception before class and during most lunch breaks, nurturing her love for the craft. Grace pursued her passion further in college, earning degrees in both English and Social Sciences with a heavy emphasis on psychology and sociology. Her studies became the foundation for her writing, encouraging the creation of multidimensional and complex characters in her works. Grudges and Revenge became the perfect fusion of her love for literature and creative writing, combined with her fascination with the darker, more deviant aspects of human nature. In her writing, Grace manages to stretch the boundaries of the genre by delving into moral battles, the complexities of human rationality, and the intricacies of morally-gray characters. She artfully weaves together moments of despair and humor, fast and slow pacing, and even carefully constructed sentence structures to evoke a roller coaster of emotions for her readers. While Grace’s writing explores complex and often intense themes, she is also a fierce advocate for mental health. She is adamant about including trigger warnings in her books, has used her social media platform to raise awareness for mental health issues, and has donated a portion of her earnings to charities supporting mental health services, ensuring that her work serves both as a form of artistic expression and a vessel for positive change.

Gareth Ian Davies was born and raised in the south of London, during which time he wrote many terrible things and dreamed of becoming a novelist. Instead, he earned a degree in Physics from the University of Bristol and didn’t quite know what to do with it. After moving to the American Midwest he flirted with a career in nuclear engineering before taking the somewhat safer path as a software architect. He spent the next three decades writing code and technical documentation, before finally realizing his dream by publishing his first novel. Gareth lives in St. Louis with his wife, her sadly declining fish population, two cats, and a cockatiel.

Stacey LP was born and raised on Long Island in NY, and currently resides in Texas. After a major plot twist where she lost her full-time job of almost a decade in a mass layoff, Stacey’s friends urged her to pursue her dream of writing a book of her own…and thus, an author was born. Stacey writes in the sci-fi and fantasy genres, frequently weaving love stories into each plot. When she isn’t writing (or reading), Stacey enjoys spending time with her husband, children, two cats, and goofball of a dog…or going to pop punk shows. #elderemo4ever Stacey has an MA in English Literature from SUNY New Paltz and is proud (aka relieved) to finally use her degree for more than just a punchline.
